Antacid Actives

What are Antacid Actives?

Antacid actives are the active ingredients within a pharmaceutical formulation for the symptomatic treatment of gastritis and GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease/heartburn). They work by neutralizing or adsorbing the acids in the stomach in order to relieve the irritation or burning pain of the gastric or esophageal mucosa.
